I've got about 5 hours into teardown and all that is left in her is the brake caliper, coolant lines, cdi, & gauges. Okay, outside plastics, but no need for those to come off. Jackshaft is hanging out in a single bearing as well, but meh.

I would love a Miata, just don't really have room or a budget for a 3rd car.  Plus, it would be a few years before I could be competitive with it in AX, as there are SOOOOOO many and most are great drivers in their classes in this area.

Haven't googled yet, that is my next step...but need to prep the big black parts here for powder coat.

Two concerns are bushings and rust.

And of course the springs. Will do the aluminum pieces in the middle if I can find a low temp cure which I am pretty sure any coater here does just for the snow industry.

Can I do the springs?

Ordered some black anodized rails, opened the box tonight and they are bare aluminum. aargh.

Sent me two bogey wheels of the wrong size as well. That is partly my fault for not checking, but I figure a joint that is in Roseau, MN ought to fuckin' know what size wheels are on an IQR.

Yes, but why? They should already be coated.
